Cultural Tips
South Africa Meets Mexico
🍺
Your Castle = Modelo
Try a michelada — beer + lime + hot sauce in a salted glass. Your new favourite.
🥩
Braai = Al Pastor
Spit-roasted pork, same energy as a braai. $0.50 per taco. Order 10.
🛡️
Same rules as Joburg
You already know urban safety. Stay in Roma Norte/Condesa. Use Uber not taxis.
⛰️
Altitude hits harder
CDMX is at 2,240m — higher than Joburg. Drink extra water day 1.
